Often when I'm trying to move windows (dragging by title bar) near the top of the screen, they maximize instead, against my wishes.

  • What is that called in Xfce?
  • How can I turn it off?

Using Xfce 4.18 on Linux Mint 22.3

    Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Accesibility tab > Automatically tile windows when moving toward the screen edge

    Just in case the link breaks, this is the answer.

    Sometimes forums go defunct, or someone deletes the account, or just the links go dead.

    Some search results suggest going to Settings -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Accessibility and disabling the option for tiling windows when moved toward the screen edge.

    EDIT: Oops, someone already gave the answer.
